This doesn't include 9ff8614a3dbe ("brcmfmac: use separate Kconfig file
for brcmfmac") due to a few conflicts with backports changes.
An important change is:
[PATCH 2/7] brcmfmac: change the order of things in brcmf_detach()
which fixes a rmmod crash in the brcmf_txfinalize().

+ * There is a bug with in-firmware BSS management. When adding virtual
|
|
+ * interface brcmfmac first tells firmware to create new BSS and then
|
|
+ * it creates new struct net_device.
|
|
+ *
|
|
+ * If creating/registering netdev(ice) fails, BSS remains in some bugged
|
|
+ * state. It conflicts with existing BSSes by overtaking their auth
|
|
+ * requests.
|
|
+ *
|
|
+ * It results in one BSS (addresss X) sending beacons and another BSS
|
|
+ * (address Y) replying to authentication requests. This makes interface
|
|
+ * unusable as AP.
|
|
+ *
|
|
+ * To workaround this bug we may try to guess if register_netdev(ice)
|
|
+ * will fail. The most obvious case is using interface name that already
|
|
+ * exists. This is actually quite likely with brcmfmac & some user space
|
|
+ * scripts as brcmfmac doesn't allow deleting virtual interfaces.
|
|
+ * So this bug can be triggered even by something trivial like:
|
|
+ * iw dev wlan0 delete
|
|
+ * iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type __ap
